CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] Not Applicable STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0002] Not Applicable DESCRIPTION OF ATTACHED APPENDIX [0003] Not Applicable BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0004] This invention relates generally to the field of sports practice aids and more specifically to a sports swing training aid. [0005] For a tennis player to hit a ball with the most efficiency, it requires that the player hit the ball with the racquet face parallel to an invisible vertical plane that is perpendicular to the ground. [0006] If the racquet face is turned up, the ball will go out of the court. If the racquet face is turned down, the ball will go into the net. Because the swing is so fast, the player is not able to see whether or not the face is vertical at impact. [0007] Prior technology in this field includes videotaping the swing with a camcorder with a high-speed shutter. However, the method is costly, time consuming, and not very practical. Another alternative is to hire an instructor, but that is also expensive. There is a need, therefore, for a simple device that provides immediate feedback to the player as to whether or not the racquet is vertical at impact. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0008] The primary object of the invention is to provide a swing training aid that gives immediate feedback to a tennis player as to whether on not the player's racquet is vertical at impact. [0009] Another object of the invention is to provide a swing training aid that gives the tennis player a convenient method for practicing his or her swing without having to chase balls, hire a ball gun, hit balls against a wall, or find someone to hit balls to them. [0010] Another object of the invention is to provide a swing training aid that allows a tennis player to safely develop maximum racquet speed without fear of hitting a ball out of the court or over a fence. [0011] A further object of the invention is to provide a swing training aid that gives the tennis player experience in hitting high, low and medium balls without having to chase balls, find a hitting partner or hire a tennis instructor or ball gun. [0012] Yet another object of the invention is to provide a swing training aid that encourages a tennis player to experiment with different types of body movement in order to generate greater racquet head speed peed. [0013] Still yet another object of the invention is to provide a swing training aid that gives immediate feedback to the tennis player as to the speed of his or her racquet at impact. [0014] Another object of the invention is to provide a swing training aid that provides an efficient means to practice a tennis serve without having to chase balls and yet still have a target to hit. [0015] Another object of the invention is to provide a swing training aid that is lightweight and portable. [0016] A further object of the invention is to provide a swing training aid that can be easily used at the tennis court or at home. [0017] Yet another object of the invention is to provide a swing training aid that is inexpensive to manufacture. [0018] Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following descriptions, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein, by way of illustration and example, an embodiment of the present invention is disclosed.
